Do you have any 'holdover' beliefs?
by AllAlongTheWatchtower inafter reading and responding recently to a post about eating pork and clean and unclean meats, and also a few about newfound freedoms and pleasures that some enjoy now that they are out of the jws, i got to wondering if there is anything like that on the flip side of the coin.
in other words, despite you leaving the wts, is there anything you still believe that they taught, even though you left or were forced out, and no longer believe the rest of the jw doctrine?.
i was never a jw, but i was raised in a rather similar group called the worldwide church of god, many of the controls, strictures, and abuses that i saw as a child there, i see posted about here-though they are different, they are also the same.

Wandering during the meeting is it getting worser? Or maybe betterer!?

Getting married....any advise?
by Uni girl ini'm getting married in a few weeks to the man that was disfellowshipped with me for 'committing adultery in our hearts".
we have been together for 5 years and have a wonderful and warm relationship, no fear or guilt.
the only blimp on the horizon is his family, some of whom are maniacs when it comes to the letter of the law.

Sending letters to all JWs I know.....
by Lilycurly inafter thinking a lot about it, i just felt i had to at least try something to make the local jws open their eyes.
i know it is most unlikely that any of them will even consider reading all of what i will send, but here's the plan:.
i've got a list of all their addresses (that i kept from before).

A jw snopes type web site?
by Check_Your_Premises inany who have checked out snopes.com, know that it is a very effective baloney detection device.
it is amazing how many phoney stories end up coming some so many credible sources.
for the dubs, the urban legend serves an important function of protecting and bolstering their faith.

when you were babtized and dedicated did you feel a void?
by swiftbreeze inthis has always troubled me:.
i was studying to be babtized although i was raised around the "truth" i still had to have an official study.
so i was taught that i had to go to jehovah in prayer stating my desire to be dedicated and babtized.

of the mouth of babes
by Crumpet ini don;t know what made me think of this as its a memory i haven;t retrieved in 17 years at least but it made me chuckle and it was a favourite story of my parents!.
when i was 6 and my little sister was 3 we were at a thursday night meeting, when she began to whispher to my mum " i want a smack".
my mother thought she had misheard and looked away but no lil sis said it a bit louder tugging at her arm, "mummy i want a smack.
